Drop-in sessions to discuss flooding - Porirua area
On Thursday 12 July we held the first of four drop-in sessions at Titahi Bay Primary School to discuss flooding in the Porirua area. Thank you to everyone that came along. It was really helpful for us to speak to people affected by flooding and share information.
If you were unable to make that drop-in session we are holding another one tonight at Porirua School from 7pm until 8.30pm. Please come along and share photos, information, observations and experiences as this helps us understand the catchment area better.
The drop-in sessions will be held on:
Tuesday 24 July from 7pm to 8.30pm at Porirua School
Tuesday 31 July from 7pm to 8.30pm at St Theresas Catholic Church
Wednesday 8 August from 7pm to 8.30pm at Cannons Creek School
See you there
